    **********************************************************

      These are the alchemy "copy protection" pictures from
      Darklands, altered to contain the lable as well as the image.
      This means you do not have to refer to the reference card,
      you can read the copy protection image lables right in the game.
      Needless to say, you shouldn't use them unless you own
      the game.

      This also provides proof that the PicConverter application
      can create .pic images readable by Darklands.

      To use these images, copy them into the darklands\pic directory
      (backing up old images if you choose.)

      Files:
      StartScr.pic - Darklands Startup menu - added "www.darklands.net". :)    
      Copy*.pic - Copy protection "alchemy" images

    **********************************************************

    ! NOTE: On several of the altered images there was insufficient space
    to fit the entire copy-code, resulting in the word being truncated on that
    tile. Please keep this in mind. Do not use the shorter literal as displayed
    in response to the copy-protection challenge. Instead use the full, proper
    spelling of that word (ENU) as indicated here:

  • copy0.pic
  •     " Calcinati "      Calcination    
  • copy3.pic
  •     " Fermentatio "      Fermentation    
  • copy4.pic
  •     " Congelatio "      Congelation    
  • copy7.pic
  •     " Multiplicati "      Multiplication    

      TIP: Verify your copy-code tile set using PICSHOW.
      
      Because the altered copy-code files use the same
      names as their originals, you may wish to verify
      the new files are in place as expected. This can
      be done from a 16-bit DOS command prompt (e.g.
      DOSBox) using a utility that comes with Darklands
      in the DARKLAND\PICS\ directory, PICSHOW.EXE!
      Here is an example of its usage:
      
      C:\DARKLAND\PICS> picshow copy*.pic [-p charpalt.pic]
      
      - where "*" is a numeral 0 - 19.
      - contents in brackets [ ] are optional // do not include the brackets!
      
      Run command "picshow /help" for more information.
